    OK, not a new member. But, I've been here several years, watching the threads and enjoying the forums. Dreaming of the day when I'd finally get my Challenger. Well, that day came yesterday! 2021 scat pack 1320. 1320 Plus group, 8.4" w/NAV, alpine audio group, driver convenience group, technology group. I'm absolutely in love with this thing, in every way!

    Thanks wizard! I couldn't be more happy and excited, tbh. This is literally a 14-year dream come true. I've wanted a Challenger since they came out in '07. I've watched them get better and better, year after year and finally took the plunge! I'm hoping one day to make the journey to spring fest with it.

    Nice car. Good luck with it. BTW, you can sell those yellow chin guards on eBay.... LOL
    Don't just throw them out. If it were me, I'd keep them safe somewhere to stay with the car. If you can see if you could get a hardcopy 2021 Challenger brochure. That's nice to have with your other documentation for the car. I have the sales and accessory brochures for my 2015. Sometimes I put them on the dash or lay them on the passenger seat at cruise ins. Just a thought.

    Great ideas, B5! Thanks for the suggestions. I really look forward to doing cruise-ins and the like. Never thought I could sell the guards. But, I'll probably just hang onto them, like you said. I'm kind of old school like that, too. Keep all that original stuff, the window sticker, all the paperwork, etc.

    Hey B5 -

    You'll probably like this. I work at the steel mills up in Indiana. We just got bought out by a new company last year and I've had my eye on this official company poster for several years, simultaneously dreaming of the day that I'd get the Challenger. Figured it would be great for my garage. A few months ago, I managed to score it, since the new company was going to be getting rid of all the old company's stuff!
